I use a Bodyglove clear case I got at my local T-Mobile store. It's actually a Vibrant case, but it's a perfect fit. It also has a kickstand, which I love (perfect for watching videos.)
Edit: This is the one I was talking about.

I have the body glove and love it... gives the phone a little more size and the rubber coating really provides grip, love the kick stand when I have to use the belt clip, but it's mostly in my pocket or on the desk.

Same case. Love it.
I'm using a power-skin case. It charges my battery up to four times. Until I charge the power-skin up. So if my phone dies, it will keep my phone alive for 4 extra hours until I can charge it.
Otterbox = Best case ever!
SGP Ultra Slider Case!
Otter Box fits it perfectly love it
+1 To all the OtterBox lovers. It gives you the best of both worlds. Soft rubber inner lining so it don't scratch it like the plastic ones do, and a hard candy shell... mmmm... candyy... sorry got distracted. But even with the 2 layers it doesn't really add that much to the thickness of the phone. Perfectiona! I'm an Idiot.
I use Trident "Cyclops" Case, It is a awesome case for protection.
I run it naked no case lol

Otterbox Commuter - got an Otterbox for my old Blackberry and it saved it multiple times, wouldn't get anything less for this phone (and the case is awesome).
trident case
+1 on the trident case. when i got mine the guy at the store was repeatedly dropping his phone frm 8ft off the ground just to show the protection level. I would never recomend pushing your cases capabilities like this but none the less i was sold after that! U guys should check out there website (google trident cases) the KRAKEN is a beast!

after an otterbox defender or commuter or case-mate tough but not sure which case i should go for, advice please
I'm using otterbox and I'm happy with it. No problems with receiving any GPS signal...

I'm using otterbox commuter only problem with it is part of the top part has broken off which seems to be a common problem. I believe they have lifetime warranty though. On another note it's now actually alot easier getting out of the case when I need to.
Otterbox
I love Otterbox and no problems with blocking signals
Using the CaseMate Tough for the last 6 months or so. Can't fault it. Extremely robust, no cracks etc.
No issues with GPS signal (that is limited to the mirror-silver version of CaseMate's "Barely There" product)
Otter Box
Definitely Otter box. I have had my Commuter for about a month now and no issues.
i love my otterbox commuter series but it gathers dust very quickly..

I switched from my casemate tough to an otterbox commuter because otterbox cases are supposed to be some of the best. I quite enjoy both cases BUT the CM tough is holding up better. The top part of my commuter has broken loose. Also, the commuter is very slick. The tough has a texture to it. My commuter took several slides off the car seat or out of my lap. Nothing major but kind of annoying.

My otterbox broke after a few months, quite poor quality to be honest, no drops or heavy bangs, just parts of the plastic section developed cracks. Using a casemate now.

Case-mate Tough rules!
I just got my case mate tough case and it's working great for me. It feels solid and looks nice on the phone.
I have all three cases, and mostly use the Defender since it has a belt holster, and it offers the most protection. I also like the material of the Defender case as well.
I prefer the Tough Case over the Commuter because of the grip it has, the Commuter is too slick IMO.
I've had the CaseMate Tough for about 6 months.
I can't fault it. It looks the same as it did on day 1. No damage at all to corners etc.
I must say I don't take the phone out a lot, but when I do, it comes out and goes back in perfectly. The silicone inner skin has not stretched at all since I got it either.
So it has passed the test of time
I use an Otter Box Defender and you could drive a tank over it, my phone is 11 months old and looks perfect out of the box.
Otterbox kicks a**...end of story.
Otterbox rules.

Bought a Otterbox -> send back
Bought a case mate -> send back
now im using a bugatti leather case
Been using Otterbox defender for 3 months now, no problem dropped it a few times sometimes it just flew out of my hand as I was turning around the phone with my finger. BUT NO WORRIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LOL friends ask why did I buy this case which is so bulky. I just threw it up the sky and watch as it hit the cemented floor while my friends in shocked. NOTHING HAPPEN LOL didn't need to talk so much as the demonstration always works
Since I always rush around due to my job, all my previous phone dropped (well no cracked screen but case only most of them) w805i, k700i, x1, and.. er.. i remember having a bulky nokia phone... I can't seem to remember the name thought... looks like one of those mini laptop type. Anyway all of it experience drop while being used by me. But the conclusion is, I am really happy with this case as it serve its purpose
Im using the thin aluminium one from OBO store. For the price it is pretty good.

Wow these new otterbox cases are way better then the old ones. The plastic isnt flimsy anymore and it fits it perfectly on the One S. I've spoken on it and used speaker phone and it doesn't make it harder to hear or be heard. A deff good buy and on amazon or ebay its only $35
I was wondering if anyone has seen any accessories that can fit to the otterbox defender case? Before I had my HTC HD2 and I had a car mount that fits the otterbox case perfectly.
I'm getting mine tomorrow. Does it come with a screen protector? Cause I like my InvisibleShield HD screen protector and want to keep using it.

I prefer my Skinomi TechSkin because it is the same thing but cheaper. I've used the Zagg products before, but wasn't impressed enough to get a replacement when my keys stretched it in my pocket and ruined it. I do love my TechSkin, however.
Got my defender today..Not that impressed with the built in screen protector. It seems to bubble and give you a tactical feel to it.
otterbox defender vs commuter
I'm thinking about buying this case but im not to sure.
For you guys that already have it i've got some questions.
This is for the defender:
How much weight does it add?
Since it has a screen protector I don't need to keep my old one on do i?
Does it have a non belt clip piece? (flat back)
For the commuter:
Sounds like this one doesn't fit correctly any feed back?
^^ No, OB Commuter Case fits well. Had one on my One S for a few weeks and been happy with it.
Just got mine today. First impression is great product. Will post in a few days after some real world usage.

I just got my Otterbox Defender case and I absolutely love it. Its a little bulky but I take my phone with me on my bicycle and this case really has the protection I need in case I drop it from the bike.
I like my Otterbox defender very much. Makes the phone a bit bulky but protection should be good. The only thing I recommend is to throw away the built in screen protector as it makes the readability of the screen really bad. I replaced it with a normal clear screen protector and now I am satisfied.

Thats what i was thinking about in case that screen protector sucked. I think i might go with it and if it sucks, just remove it and use a zagg or something like it!
need to buy one of those :good:
I don't notice any problems with the built-in screen protector. It works well and does't obscure anything on the screen, as far as I can tell.

I've got both now too, I ordered the Defender and they sent a Commuter by mistake, said keep it and we'll refund since we don't have the right one. Just got the Defender from another seller.
Build quality on both is really excellent, it took me a couple of minutes to work out how to get the Defender apart to get the phone in, it's that well put together.
The screen protectors on both leave a lot to be desired though, the one on the Commuter is good but leaves the top of the glass bare, the one built in to the Defender is just awful, it works fine but makes the screen very grainy.
My phones are subject to lots of bumps and knocks at work and good all round protection, especially for the screen when not in use, is important. The Defender with the addition of a decent screen protector fits the bill perfectly.
I got Commuter for mine, quite happy with it, but have to agree with the screen protector tho just doesn't cover all the screen so I left it off but in the 3 months I've had this case I've put it through a beating with no damage to my phone

otterbox defender vs commuter
i would go with the defender because what i see on the website it has a belt clip which the commuter doesn't have :angel:
Bit annoyed today, the retaining clip on my Otterbox holster snapped off while I was taking the phone out of it.
I'll get a chance to see how good Otterbox after sales service is.
Looking for suggestions for HOX case. I am welding in a shop a few nights a week and there is lots of dirt, dust, and fumes. So I need a case with flaps to cover the ports!
I have tried Trident which I loved, but it doesn't fit! They don't make an AT&T version! Currently have Otterbox Defender, which is good but very bulky. I liked how slim the Trident was.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Check out the commuter, not as durable, but it covers the ports, and it's thinner than the defender
The commuter case by otterbox is a great option, tight fit that covers all ports, but not as bulky as other tough cases. If you want i can upload pics
Ah ok. Will give it a try. Thanks.

Like everyones been saying... Commuter case by Otterbox. Pretty sure they come with a lifetime warranty, so if it ever breaks, you can just get a new one for free.

I have the Otterbox Defender, pretty damn good case if you don't mind the size. Extremely durable from my experience with it so far too, I've dropped it a few times. A friend of mine with the same case threw his at a wall just for the hell of it, no damage to the case or the phone.
If your not seeking a Defender size case I fitted the Speck CandyShell Grip which felt pretty good. It felt more natural then the Commuter.
Hello fellow one X owners,

I like the Seidio Active line, myself. I've used them on all of my Android phones and they offer great protection without adding much weight or bulk.

Just purchased a incipio silicrylic, looking into the candyshell and feather cases now
Cool man! I don't doubt you will like it. I'm staying tuned to this thread as I have a bit of a case addiction.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
My wife uses the incipio sillicrylic it is a nice case, however I just cant stand the case being loose on the sides of my phone. I am using the speck candyshell and it is built well with no flapping of the inner layers.
The only knock against the candyshell is don't plan on taking it off and on a lot it is a beast to get the case off the phone.
Right now I'm using the Speck Candyshell with a Steinheil ultra crystal (I think) screen protector. I cn honestly say that out off all the cases I've used on all the phones I've owned, it seriously is amazing. Best one I've ever used. I always had an issue with dust, dirt, lint, or whatever else getting into my cases. So I started cleaning them every day. Well with this case, it's not an issue one bit!! It's a hybrid case. So it has a rock hard outer shell, with a nice hard silicone inside. The corners are almost "split" So if you drop it, the silicone will absorb all of the impact. Also, the edges on the front around the screen are all that same hard silicone. Couple it with a good seen protector and your good to go!!
Since its a hybrid case it doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. It's amazing. Buttons all work perfect too.
It might be on the the expensive side, and a b*tch to get on and off at first... But it is WELL worth it!

When playing with the silicone, yeah it is (compared to the Ballistics case for instance) but in real use it's treated me well. Did you get the incipio in a color other than black? If so, I may be interested in purchasing from you if you don't want it.

I got it in the grey/volt or neon whatever you want to call it. I will keep you in mind if I decide to part with it. I found it on ebay for 14.99 I believe
As for now I am going to price the other cases and go from there.
